How Can I Fight Modern Day Slavery?

First, become aware.
Once you become aware you will have to make the choice to ignore the truth or to activate

Are you looking for something you can do now? Here are some options:

  • Shared Hope International Our Mission Is To Eradicate Sex-Trafficking through preventing, restoration, and justice. I serve as an Ambassador of Hope for SHI in my area.
  • Polaris Project A World Without Slavery. They have a National Human Trafficking Hotline, their Polaris Project’s policy program is viewed as a premiere source of human trafficking legislative and policy expertise in the United States. Polaris Project provides 24/7 emergency response to life-threatening situations, intensive case management and counseling to ease the effects of trauma, support groups, arts therapy programs, and job training/placement assistance, as well as training and technical support.
  • International Justice Mission Rescue Thousands Protect Millions. These are lawyers you'll really like. They work toward Justice System Transformation through three phases. 1) Collaborative Casework 2) System Reform 3) Sustain Gains
Victims and concerned citizens can now send
text messages to “BeFree” (233733)

The information above is taken from each website. Links are provided. Each of these organizations needs donations however, they also provide options for anyone looking for ways to take action. Besides donations, volunteering, or working for organizations like those listed above there is another option. Working as a Freedom Fighter with a fair-trade company called Better Way Imports serves as an opportunity for you to able to help build awareness and provide for your family at the same time. 


Better Way Imports Do Good. Do Well. Better Ways approach is simple by partnering with companies that are designed to give women who have been brought out of sex trafficking a genuine opportunity to work in a safe environment that provides them with fair wages enabling them to earn money for themselves and their family. Then Freedom Fighters market their products. It's not just giving someone a fish or even just teaching them how to fish. It's teaching them to fish, buying a fish, and then going back to buy more. In addition to this Freedom Fighters work to make others aware of human trafficking and give them an immediate way to help.

As a Freedom Fighter, I go into homes and educate people about the truth of human trafficking in their local area and state, as well as the world. Then I provide an opportunity for everyone to take immediate action by buying, booking, and becoming a Freedom Fighter. 

Through continued reading you will grow in understanding and learn of many more ways to be involved. Check my blog on a regular basis as I build on the premise of educating others while working to be
voice for the voiceless.
Speak out for the voiceless!
If you are interested in Better Way Imports and would like to buy, book, or become contact me, I will help walk you through the process. It is a delight and an honor to respond to the compliments I receive when I wear jewelry made by a victorious survivor.
